Really is going to be amazing to see the final result. Great work so far restoring honor to a lovely RI piece!

Thanks. I love the '69 aesthetic but much prefer the slab body of the '65, so this is me having my cake AND eating it. The wait to play it is killing me, but I'm having a lot of fun doing the refinish.

I like it. I don't know why, but for me it works better than comp blue.
While it clearly is a bit of a tribute to aged blue compstangs.
Incidentally, are you just going to rock out as is or get a decal for the headstock?

Thanks, I love the aged blue look. Yes, that was the inspiration, though I've always loved Sherwood green too. The vintage white stripe gives it a bit more individuality.

I have a decal ready to go. I'll wetsand and buff next weekend hopefully, then get the decal on and put it all together at last!
